I think it is perfectly obvious that the McCann's motivation is directed at finding their daughter or at least finding out what happened to her.
It is beyond comprehension why there are those who strenuously object to that and/or question the motive which drives them.
The McCanns are rightly obsessed with fulfilling their goal. What is it which drives those equally obsessed with derailing them from their objective?
Father confesses British police investigation was a relief"We feel that it took a huge amount of pressure off us, individually and as a family," Gerry said

The opening of the British police investigation into the disappearance of Madeleine McCann was a great relief after the disappointment of seeing the Portuguese authorities file the case, the child's father said.
Since the Metropolitan Police really started the investigation we feel that it has taken a huge amount of pressure off us, individually and as a family," Gerry McCann told the BBC in the only interview the couple gave on the 10th anniversary of Madeleine McCann's disappearance, and whose reproduction was authorised for other media.
Operation Grange was opened in 2011 to reassess all documents and information related to the case, evolving the following year to a formal inquiry.
Meanwhile, the Judicial Police also reopened the case, having made several steps in coordination with british detectives.
For the Scottish doctor, the closure of the initial Judicial Police investigation meant that "no one was proactively doing anything to try and find Madeleine", resulting in a sense of injustice and frustration at not seeing all possible lines of inquiry.
Gerry McCann acknowledged that they had been privileged with donations that would have exceeded two million euros, which allowed to fund a campaign to try to find the daughter, including the hiring of private detectives, but said that they do not have the same powers as a police force.
The British investigation, he continued, allowed several lines of inquiry to be investigated, many of which were closed without the response to what happened to Madeleine being reached.
"This is almost as important as finding the person responsible, knowing that these lines have been closed," he said.
As for the "crucial" clues Scotland Yard revealed this week, parents are reassured that the inquiry is continuing to progress.
"They've managed to gather so much and crypts so much information, so now it looks like there are only a few lines of inquiry instead of tens or hundreds," added the child's mother, Kate McCann.
Of the 29 detectives that "Operation Grange" initially involved there are only four dedicated to the case, but since 2011 around 12 million pounds (14 million euros) have been spent.
Gerry McCann considers that the criticism of the media invested in this investigation is "very unfair" even given that it is only a child among many missing, but argued that this is a very rare case and that it has attracted a lot of attention.
"There are millions of British tourists who go to the Algarve every year and essentially we have a British person who has been the target of a crime and there are other crimes that were discovered after madeleine's abduction involving British tourists. So I think being judged is a reasonable purpose," he said.
